Nice pic!!!

Are you using VM or E version ?


The E-mount with full electronics -- great aids in VF for focusing.

This lens is probably worth buying some sort of Sony Alpha camera, it's just that good.

Hi, guys!

I have recently buy this wonderful lens. The previous Ultron 40/2 was glued to my 5DII. So, I hope the same thing will happen with this one.

Sorry, for technical shots but I'm just a bit of a mess right now. Unfortunately I have not the best exemplar . I am not sure that I want (and I can) return it. I made centering tests (siemens star). Centering looks like ok, but the lens has some tilt. Here the corners at f/2.8

Top Left

Bottom Right

The blur pattern is interesting. Looks like an axial smearing.
What do you think about this exemplar?

Thanks!

To the owners:
Apart of MF/AF, How do you compare this lens to the Batis F2 in image quality/bokeh/Sharpness ?

Beautiful nature photos Lee!

Took this through the front screen (in the passenger seat ) when we were driving to visit my parents in the north of Sweden for Christmas.

Just going by comparisons I've seen here, Bokeh/rendering seems preferable on the Voigtlander. Subjective maybe, the CV40 has less busy transition zone bokeh and is just a bit smoother. There is a thread with images you could find if you search. Image quality for landscapes/stopped down, I'm sure both perform very well, I doubt the difference is enough to pick one over the other. Pick the CV40 for size, sharp 10-point sunstars, f1.2, or bokeh reasons. Pick the Batis for AF and close focus reasons.

Here's another shot for fun with this lens.

A little break in the clouds and rain today. Sprinkles did get on the outside of the lens on these shots, right at the end of my jaunt.

Semi quarantined, went for a walk in early spring snow to the nearby forest with the kids... loved it... and yes the Sony a7r2 and the Nokton can handle a bit of snow...

That dog has some questions for you.

1.) Why are you using a manual lens on the best auto focusing mirrorless camera on the market?

2.) Are you ever going back to work? Who is going to pay for my Kibbles?
